      How come it tried to send me to make a left onto a major thoroughfare from a tiny side street rather than the major one with a controlled left arrow (a blessed rarity in my city) a few blocks away? Yeah maybe someone did it and scraped a few seconds off their time because they got lucky with the cross traffic, but someone who doesn’t know the area is gonna get tboned.

      I don’t want fastest. I want least stressful. No left turns without a traffic light. No really short merges. And if it could find a way to route all the chaotic idiots along some other road, that would be perfect.

        Waze likes to pull this sort of dumb shit all the time.

        Like yeah, maybe it’d save me a minute or two but I’d rather wait to take a left turn at a protected left turn light than try to cross 3 lanes of opposite traffic from some obscure side street.
